The Villa

Large holiday home by the lake.

Sågen is a detached authentic villa from 1935 in the village of Sätergarden. The villa is surrounded by its own grounds of almost 4 ha, with its own bank directly adjacent to the Lisjön lake. The lake is relatively shallow (approx. 2 m) so it warms up quickly in summer and freezes quickly in winter. Nice swimming and ice skating! The comfortable holiday home is very suitable for one or two families. It has been completely renovated and decorated according to Swedish tradition, including a large sauna..

Surroundings

hilly area, next to the beautiful Lisjön lake

The holiday home 'Sagen' is located directly on the Stora Lisjön lake, between nice towns Sunne and Torsby and against a fascinating nature reserve.
Approximately half an hour's drive away is the fantastic ski and cross-country skiing area Hövfjallet, where winter sports in Sweden can be enjoyed safely, exclusively and very affordably; it has 2 black pistes and several red pistes, so don't think it's nothing. For the real sporty skiers, these slopes offer an enormous challenge, if one tries the Telemark skis ! Cross-country skiing in Sweden is incomparably beautiful. This area is really 'WinterWonderLand' in winter.
